​Painting on silk has been part of my life over many years, making scarves, cushions, ties and cards.I enjoy the flow of the colours on the wet silk and the effects the various techniques form on the drying silk, making the painting process and the created work a unique experience.​I am also involved in knitting, crocheting and other crafts. Making something that is different from mass produced items has always interested me as I believe that handmade objects enrich our surroundings in a very special way.
